Orioles pitcher Miguel Gonzalez expressed relief today at the results of his MRIs and hopes to start throwing in the next couple of days.
Gonzalez was diagnosed with tendinitis in his right shoulder and elbow. He received a cortisone injection in his shoulder on Monday.
"The results, I was pretty happy," Gonzalez said. "It's just a little bit of inflammation, tendinitis, on my elbow and shoulder, so that's really good news.
"Just try to get the inflammation down and go day-by-day and see...
Cuban outfielder Dariel Alvarez won't accompany the Orioles to Toronto this weekend because he's still waiting for the necessary paperwork to obtain his work visa.
Alvarez may be optioned to Single-A Frederick following tonight's game, since the Keys won't make the Carolina League playoffs and he could return after their final game.
The Orioles could choose to place pitcher Miguel Gonzalez on the disabled list with a tendinitis in his right shoulder and elbow, which would allow them to...
After losing by scores of 6-3 and 11-2 the past two nights against Tampa Bay, the Orioles need a win tonight to avoid being swept for the third time in their last four series.

The Orioles (63-69) have lost six in a row and 12 of 13 games. A loss tonight would give the Orioles their longest losing streak of the season and would drop...

Scherzer allowed two runs on six hits with four strikeouts over seven innings in a 4-1 loss to the Cardinals at Nationals Park on April 23. He is 0-2 with a 3.71 ERA in three career starts against St....

The Orioles' Triple-A Norfolk affiliate beat Charlotte 6-3 last night and is closing in on a division title. At 76-61, the Tides lead the division by four games over Gwinnett with seven games left.
Norfolk hosts Gwinnett in a doubleheader today and if the Tides were to sweep the doubleheader and have Charlotte lose at Durham, Norfolk would clinch the South Division of the International League and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2005.
Norfolk's Christian Walker has a 10-game...

"Work or Don't Eat." That phrase was scripted across the front of All-Star center fielder Adam Jones' shirt as he and Wayne Kirby strolled down Eutaw Street to Boog's BBQ stand. Trays of ribs in hand, the duo set to take on CareFirst Fan Challenge winner Thomas Turnbaugh in a good, old-fashioned BBQ battle.
While Jones and Kirby prepared Greek-style ribs, throwing them on the grill and adding lemon and secret spices, Turnbaugh brought a unique course to the table: a classic pulled-pork BBQ...
